Will the GPS write to RAW exif files too? Separate trackers can't do that.

I agree too. I was just scanning Marktplaats for bargains when I saw it. I didn't find any bargains though

There is one for sale on Marktplaats here in the Netherlands at the moment - they want €600 for it.

Could this be from Miklos do you think?

I'm expecting that, when the current agreement with Tokina ends, that we will see Pentax developed lenses being released for other systems under the Hoya banner.
If it means they get their lenses out faster, and keep/improve the quality of them then I am all in favour. As it is it seems that Tokina get the lenses for other makes out far quicker than the Pentax badged models.

We have to hope that Hoya will not be as badly hit as some other manufacturers (such as Sony) by the current recession. Since they don't have their fingers in quite so many recession sensitive field they may fare better.

Shaky, George's first comment was a bit crass to say the least, but it is just George, stating his point of view in his less than tactful way. Prieni is referring to Scott's quoting of George's second post and saying that that is also insulting, which it isn't.
I for one couldn't careless about in camera face detection - I can recognise a face when I see one, and can get it in focus.

The weather could be a factor. Someone else here had a problem with their K10D battery recently because of the cold. Sorry I can't remember who it was.
I always used CRV3 non rechargeable batteries in my *ist Ds, but I don't think they fit the K200D. They lasted for ages. No idea if they make AA non rechargeable Lithium batteries, but if they do they may be a solution.
If you do switch to the K10D or even K20D you will still be dealing with cold sensitive rechargeable batteries, just of a different sort.

I was taught entirely in metric. I had no concept of imperial measurements. So when I went to work in a drawing office that still used imperial I was lost. I was laughed at because I didn't know how many pounds in a cwt. I still don't know. I quickly left that job and became a computer operator. It was easier and better paid!
I'm 52 btw.

We were a bit bemused when in the US in May to come across some road signs with the distances in Kms in Arizona. And we weren't near the Mexican border either.
